I just had a customer cancel his order (And rightfully so!) because Amazon undercut video they said I had to list at$20.00. I refunded customer the difference but I think that pretty dirty on Amazon part.They should not make a dealer list their item higher than they plan on charging for the same item new themselves.But thats o.k. being as Amazon don't even have this item in stock and I know I do, I will list it under the used and let the customer know it's new and I will sell however many anyone wants UNDER Amazons cheapest price.Compete with that Amazon!

Amazon showing a lower price than mine in the Marketplace is OK.
What is happening is that Amazon simply lists the price of the book when new, and when it was first available. Then, they clearly state the book is not available at that price.
Most serious buyers realize that books that are OLD did not cost as much as today's new books, and that if they really want the collectible older book, they must PAY!
Anytime I check and find a book is not available and out of print, I automatically list my book under the Collectibles - Collectible Like New or Collectible Good. Then I price my book based on what I paid and what I think it will go for to someone who really wants this Old Out of Print Book.
I like Marketplace! What would make it better is where you find the information stating the book is out of print on the new book screen, that they would show that book(s) are available thru the Marketplace as Used or Collectible.

I personaly am enjoying getting rid of all these books, especially the one's that have been sitting over at half.com all summer long
